+       Version 2.59b.
+
+       * README: Add advice about m4 1.4.2.
+
+       * Makefile.cfg (wget_files): Remove config.guess, config.sub,
+       texinfo.tex for now (done by hand now).
+       * Makefile.maint (wget_files, cvs_files):
+       Remove ansi2knr.c; nobody uses it.
+       (ansi2knr.c-url_prefix): Remove.
+       (cvs-update): Fix test for failure.  I don't know why it ever
+       worked...
+       
+       * doc/autoconf.texi: Update URLs, some of which went stale.
+       Use @uref rather than @href.
+
+       * lib/autoconf/general.m4 (_AC_INIT_PARSE_ARGS): Have configure
+       handle "--" as per POSIX.  Suggested by Paul Pogonyshev.
+
+       * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/elisp-comp,
+       config/install-sh, config/mkinstalldirs, config/texinfo.tex,
+       doc/fdl.texi, doc/standards.texi: Sync with master copy.
+
        * NEWS, TODO, configure.ac, bin/autoscan.in,
        bin/autoupdate.in, bin/ifnames.in, doc/autoconf.texi,
